Defoe maybe but it's time we stopped looking in the relegated players market. It's we truly want to move to the next level we should only buy players better than what we currently have. If we could only bring in 3 players I would bring in a gk, rb and Sakho.

Kirchoff and Kone stand out for me.

Both were stand out performers under Big Sam at Sunderland.

I'd take Defoe on a years contract. He wants to go to the world cup, so will have something to prove and is already a proven goal scorer even at 34.

No thanks to any of them.
They're all in relegated teams for a reason and other than Defoe none of them shone, and even Defoe's lamp dulled towards the end.
Personally I would rather see us going in for more like Big Sam's last four purchases rather than sniffing around the bins.

Cynic or realist? It's a fine line!

Traore, Negredo, Kone, Defoe and Pickford are the only ones that I think could improve the squad. The others are a waste of time. It's a shame Swansea stayed up as there are a couple from them that would be okay.

IMO Palace have a big problem with their youth policy.

You need fit younger players to be pushing for places but I don't see any for us since Wilfrid.

That means paying 10 millions for an average player who wants to do that.

He was playing full back against wilf. Much better as a centre half. Won their player of the year.
